We are working on Math word problems. They are touch, and our brains are getting a tough workout. We are learning addition and subtraction strategies as well.

This afternoon we learned more about Inukshuit (that's plural for Inukshuk). We created rocks out of plasticine to help us create Inukshuks too. We will work on those another day.

Gymnastics is going great. We are able to do balances on 2, 3, 4, 5 or more body parts. Ask me to show you at home.
*Reminder to wear appropriate clothing and make sure all jewelry is able to come off for this unit.*

We practiced our spelling on whiteboards this morning. Some students created sentences and some wrote the words. We spend about 15 minutes each day practicing our words and then sometimes even more if we are in Daily 5 Word Work.
Keep practicing at home. Spelling Quiz on FRIDAY!

Keep up the Home Reading also! Reading everyday will help your child improve. It's important to let them read, but it's also important to let them hear you read. Spend an extra 10 minutes together snuggled up on the couch.
